Johanna, sometimes life just seems to hand us too much grief to bear at once . I'm so very sorry that in this already stressful and frightening time, you must also deal with the loss of your beautiful and beloved Texas. I just know though, that he is now at the Rainbow Bridge, playing with kittenish glee, and watching over you and the herd from above. {{Hugs}} and my most heartfelt condolences to you.

Johanna, I'm so sorry and also in shock to hear about Tex's passing. Both of you knew it was time for him to go to the Bridge and now he's a happy, healthy, and pain free kitty again. I'm sure that my Pepper welcomed him with open arms. RIP sweet Tex. You'll always be missed and never forgotten. Please take care Johanna. I know you're going through a lot right now. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Dear Johanna ... I am just now seeing this thread. I am so very sorry to hear that Tex is now at Rainbow Bridge. I know it was a very difficult decision, but it was one made out of love and in his best interest. This just adds to all the sadness you are experiencing right now, and I just wish I could take your pain away. Please know I am here and praying for you.

Love,
Kim
